victoria1984 says "Very reliable " about Kingston DT Mini Fun 1GB Flash Drive

victoria1984 — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:16:19 GMT

Kingston DT Mini Fun 1GB Flash Drive is a very good and reliable device. I have never had problems with it. You can transfer a lot of different files on it and keep them there for as long as you like. Data does not get corrupted or lost, it always has whatever you transferred on it. It's very light and portable and you can even leave it in our usb port and does not get in the way. It comes in cute colors, I go the yellow one because it's easy to find it in a purse or a backpack. The form is a little weird but that one of its features that make it special. I think it was supposed to be a lego part but you can't really tell that looking at it. It is also very stable, not retraceable which I really like. The cap fits the usb itself just right and it stays on tight and it does not get loose so you don't have to worry about losing it and it does not accumulate dust as retractable usb drives. It has 1GB of memory and it's quite enough to transfer almost all of my files and it's more than a 1000....

victoria1984 says "Retractable problem" about SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro U3 USB 2.0 Flash Drive

victoria1984 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:53:16 GMT

SanDisk 2BG Cruzer. It is actually not that bad when it comes to few files but it starts acting out when you put more than 1GB of files on it and try to load them up to your computer from it. When there are quite a few files on it, it sometimes is not recognized by a PC or freezes everything down and you have to restart the whole system just to make it work again. It has one more negative feature, it's the way you open it, it's a slider and there is a little handle using which you basically push the connecting part out. It looks handy at first but when you are trying to squeeze it into a usb port it slides back in and that's frustrating especially if you are trying to do that on a desktop with a USB port under a hardly accessible panel. In many desktops usb ports are under some weird angle and trying to access it even with a regular non-slider usb drive is hard. Moreover, because it is a slider and the "door" to the whole drive is always open and it can accumulate dust and be damages very...

ElizabethAnnR says "WD Passport Portable hard drive is best decision I made." about Western Digital WDXMS1200 Passport Portable Hard Drive

ElizabethAnnR — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:45:52 GMT

Computer storage is always an issue. I create a lot of graphic images for my web sites and Incredimail I realized the best route would be to purchase an external hard drive. I am back to Staples for the purchase and great advice.This is a great place for me to shop as it is only three blocks from my house.

There were many choices but Western Digital has an excellent reputation so I selected the Western Digital Passport Passport Portable Hard drive is best decision I made. The price difference between the two choices was so nominal that I selected the 500GB drive and have not regretted this decision for one minute.

I can use my Passport hard drive on both of my computers. It saves storage space on both computers as I can simply save all my work on the Passport hard drive and share the file.

I can also store all my web sites on my Passport hard drive. It is always a good idea to back up your web sites. I have a rather large personal web site and it disappeared down some black hole never...

aestheticchaos says "Western Digital or Western Dud? I would go with Western Dud!" about Western Digital Elements (WDE1U2500N) 250 GB USB Hard Drive

aestheticchaos — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:58:01 GMT

I now hate WD. They are incompetent at Customer Service and they really screw the customer over.

My power cord on this product went out and they charged 18 bucks including shipping to send me half of the cord. That "half" power cord took 5-7 days to arrive. AND they only sent it in a cheap padded envelop.

One Star is too much for this particular product experience.

Granted, I had the same problem with their competitor Seagate, and they sent me everything for free in 2 days with excellent communication and in a foam padded box with international attachments. They actually cared about me using their product.

Jo says "My Book has all my data backed up" about Western Digital My Book Home Edition 500 GB USB Hard Drive

Jo — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:11:54 GMT

To the Point

When my computer started acting up and I couldn't defragment I was told I needed to get some files off. I have a flash drive but I needed something heavy duty. I bought Western Digital My Book Home Edition 500 GB USB Hard Drive.

What I got

This is a portable hard drive. It is not a flash drive. It came with a USB 2.0 cable, a Quick Install Guide (very quick - luckily this is a cinch to use), an AC adapter, and 500GB Hard Drive Capacity.

About th Western Digital My Book Home Edition 500 GB USB Hard Drive

I didn't have to install this. I just put two plugs into My Book and one in my computer. I plugged it in the couple of times I have used it. I could keep it plugged into my computer but since I also have a flash drive I use that as a daily back up. When I backed up my material on two different occasions I could see the progress.

What is nice though is that My Book Home Edition is automatic versus my flash drive which I have to save to each time I save a document.

rv3rd8 says "Good for it's price " about Western Digital My Book Essential Edition External Hard Drive 1 TB

rv3rd8 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:28:06 GMT

The My Book Essential Edition external hard drive form Wester Digital(WD), is easy to use and install. However, It was very slow to back up my laptop computer, Taking around 4 to 5 hours to do so. Using any other programs wile the back up is happening was another issue since it slowed down the programs so much I decided to stop using them. It's fair to say I was mostly using the internet when this was going on.The other problem I saw was that, for some reason my lap top kept shutting down wile the backing up was being performed. Even after all of this the file were backed up successfully. Over all it's a god product if you don't mind waiting and not using your PC or laptop while backing them up, otherwise you are not going to be pleased. The looks for this driver is a pleasing one. Being compare to that of a book, it finds many who will like it. Its small and non intrusive if you are the typical person who has a clutter in the desk, making it easy to store any were in or on the desk....

The Cavalry is very quiet and uploads very quickly for it's size, but on a 1.1 CPU it was a little slower am still very pleased with it's performance and quietness, this unit could compare to a small book and runs quite cool has a internal fan that keeps it cool, some run hot, runs extremely fast on my other computer which is 2.2 CPU I am very happy with the performance on that computer with the cavalry, you should consider this product I highly recommend the Cavalry Recommend this brand to anyone needing a very quiet, cool running hard drive that is both reliable and easy to operate

Seagate EE25.2 Series ST930817AM - hard drive - 30 GB - IDE/ATA review

General:This item is a very solid drive if you use it windows xp and I will say it spin very quite and your data is very easily accessible..

The only thing that need to be added on this hard drive is more cache.The cache that it comes with it is only 8mb .I think 16 or 32 will be a good thing.The rpm is also ok better that very old hard drives.

You cannot go wrong with this drive.I am saying this because the life cycle of this bad boy is very good.So do not be scared you can save money on energy and save yourself headache.

I build computers for my friends and family,it is a hobby for me.It is really easy to install this and get it to rspond.

Over all this drive is reliable and can give you good performance as I have been using lot of seagate drive.Seagate is a pretty reliable company I will recommend this to all techs that are out there helping out there customers to replace or upgrade a medium pc.

craftyzan101 says "Plug & Play At Right Price!" about Pioneer DVR-A18M

craftyzan101 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:27:56 GMT

What is the Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer?

The Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer is a basic internal IDE DVD/CD Writer that will 'plug & play' for you at the right price. My Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer works with Linux and with Windows XP Home.

If you know what your doing, you can install a Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer yourself. If you are uncomfortable taking apart your computer's outer shell, you need to take your computer to a tech.

Pros:
1. The Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer is very easy to install for someone comfortable taking apart his or her computer's shell.

2. Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer is compatible with both Linux and Windows operating systems out of the box.

Cons:
1. Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer comes with a CD of Nero 8 promotional DVD creating software. Nero 8 can be a drain on slower computer's resources and if a tech installs your Pioneer Internal DVD/CD Writer, said tech will install Nero 8 promotional software on your system. That can be...

kimbrownfam says "These Verbatim CD's are a great deal" about Verbatim (94554) 52x CD-R Spindle (100 Pack)

kimbrownfam — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:47:01 GMT

I purchased this spindle of 100 CD's at my local WalMart store for a very reasonable price. I was a bit skeptical at first thinking that, because I paid so little for these, they would be of very low quality when I transferred data to them. I actually used several of them to put my family photos on and get them off of my computer because they were taking up so much space. The quality of the discs was great when I looked at the pictures I had transferred. I am a regular WalMart shopper and noticed that the Verbatim brand is often on sale at WalMart for an even more discounted price than I paid for this spindle of 100. I think these CD's are a great value. They are also sold in a smaller quantity if you don't need a whole bunch of CD's and even at the lesser quantities they are still very reasonably priced. I am a believer in this brand now that I have tried it and everything I have used these discs for has turned out just great.

DietCokeMan500 says "One of my favorites!" about Verbatim (95037) 16x DVD+R Spindle (50 Pack)

DietCokeMan500 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:49:44 GMT

Next to TDK and Maxell DVD-R blank media discs, Verbatim is one of my favorites. The discs are of high quality which always gives me a great recorded picture on my home DVD recorder. They are reliable discs and they also seem to burn faster than any other when used in my computer. Why that is I don't know.

My only complaint is that they need to change their appearance. For as long as I can remember now their blank DVD-R discs have always been just plain silver with their logo. I'd like to see Verbatim come up with a new design and maybe some colored discs.

TheBard says "Could this be a Western Digital drive I can live with?" about Western Digital Elements (WDE1UBK10000) 1 TB USB 2.0 Hard Drive

TheBard — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:31:37 GMT

Bottom-Line: If you want a small footprint, high capacity, affordable external hard drive from a name you can trust, look no further than the Seagate Expansion 1.0TB External HHD.

Lately it seems I need more, and more hard drive space, or could it be that I just like buying new electronics stuff? But you can never have enough storage space I say, and with the prices for both internal and external hard drives at an all time low, it was easy to grab an affordable external hard drive for not a lot of green. My first choice was a Seagate Expansion 1.0 Terabyte (TB) External Hard Drive, but not soon after I started using it (less than 30 days), it decided it no longer wanted to work for me! Here is the update I wrote to my review of the Seagate drive:

The plug-n-play WD Elements External 1TB Hard Drive is an all black 3.5" external hard drive with very few moving parts and only one small blue LED-in the back of the unit. The drive (aluminum) enclosure is not too heavy,...

yangrou says "Iomega Network HD - How all HD's ought to be." about Iomega Home Media Network HD

yangrou — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:14:40 GMT

My wife surprised me one day with a 500GB Iomega Network HD as a present. I had for quite some time wanting a network HD, but wasn't really sure on which one to get. Thankfully, that decision was already made for me and now I just get to enjoy all the perks of having it.

Aesthetics:

Right when you open the box, you can tell that this network HD is going to be a looker. It is cased in a chrome/titanium look finish, which exudes that it is professional and something that you won't need to hide.

Construction:

The casing of the Iomega Network HD feels very solid. Not that I would advocate this but I feel like I could drop it from five feet without it falling into pieces. The case is a solid cool metal and it feels very sturdy and that it was build to last.

Setup:

The physical setup is really simple. Inside the box comes with everything you need to get started. First there is the HD itself, followed by a stand to keep it upright if you so desire. Attachment is as simple as just sliding the shelf...

TheBard says "My Laptop Has a New Lease on Life" about Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive

TheBard — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:29:22 GMT

Bottom-Line: With the WD Scorpio Blue 320GB 2.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive my laptop now has a new lease on life.

My first choice for a new 2.5" SATA hard drive was Seagate, but I wanted at least a 320GB HHD, but the company didn't offer up anything at the price point I wanted to pay. So reluctantly I started looking at Western Digital (WD) drives. (I say reluctantly because my track record with WD drives has not been the best, in fact every one I've ever owned has crashed! But, WD offered up the drive I wanted for a really affordable price, so I went for it and purchased the Scorpio Blue 320GB 2.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive.

The Drive

The WD Scorpio Blue 320GB 2.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive is an Ultra-fast 3 Gb/s SATA interface drive designed for notebook computers. I purchased the drive bare bones from Buy.com for a neat little price of $64.99.

I have a Sony Vaio AR-170 Custom built, twenty four HUNDRED dollar POC (Piece of CRAP). If I try to put ANYTHING on there it DIES. I had to sent that stupid thing in TWICE, the first year I had it. Don't get one! The only good thing that's come out of that hunk of junk is This!
My Western Digital 500 GB External Hard drive.
Every time my stupid computer crashed, I would lose, seriously, Hundreds of pictures,
Gone. Just like that. I would have to Re Install Everything, and I mean everything!
my music, which according to my ipod is like seven days worth of continuous music play.
And putting all that music on there is no short, or quick task.
My internet, my printer, my web-cam.
EVERYTHING! NO MORE! ITS HAPPENED THREE TIMES TOO MANY!!!
Everything goes straight to this thing and I Like it that way!
Sure I have my shortcuts on my desktop for here and there, but as long as the program itself isn't on my computer, I am happy as a pig in slop.

shigadeyo says "Rule #1: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA!" about Seagate 1TB USB 2.0 FREEAGENT EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE - SILVER

shigadeyo — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:11:34 GMT

I purchased a Seagate FreeAgent 1TB Desktop External Hard Drive to serve as a backup drive. I have not been a big fan of Seagate hard drives in recent years due to quality issues, but the price was right and the 5-year limited warranty definitely helps (most external hard drives from other vendors have a 1-year or less warranty!). I addition to my regular backup schedule (RAID for real-time; daily off-site), I connect this drive weekly or bi-weekly, syncronize my data, and then store it locally to have on hand just in case I need to recover something from the last week or so. I purchased this drive in late May 2009 and have not had any issues with is so far. I don't leave it connected and running all of the time, but its speed and performance as an external backup drive fit my needs, even when the drive is encrypted. I don't use or recommend the included software, so I cannot comment on it but do use and recommend several free applications including DSyncronize. Also, the total...

vpowellusa says "It suddenly stopped working....my files are gone!" about Western Digital Elements (WDE1U2500N) 250 GB USB Hard Drive

vpowellusa — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:48:08 GMT

At first I was very excited about the prospect of saving my files on an external hardware without using my desktop's storage. So I purchased the WD Elements harddrive with this purpose in mind. It promised to provide reliable service with its rugged metal case for "extra storage protection. The drive worked great for about a year, then one day I turned on my computer, tried to access a file on the Elements and discovered that the computer was not reading contents from the drive. There is no indication that the drive powers up though I checked and recheck the USB connection and power. I am very disappointed because I have lost ALOT of files I need. Now I have to figure out how to retrieve my files from a broken drive that remained stationary on my desk. I have lost faith in harddrives now and will now investigate storing files online. I gave the drive two stars, because it did work for awhile and gave me megastorage capabilities!
